I thought for a while that people would care when the fuel prices rose. Not about the environment but the price. Nope still bumper to bumper at 80 mph at all times of the day on the highways. The lack of education our children get is easily blamed on teachers, classroom size and a host of other reasons but never on the lack of help from the parents who are too worn out but mainly don't want to be bothered. Our political system is in a shambles. Both parties by the way All We have to do to change it is vote. Too much trouble to turn off the TV shows We all complain about and listen to or read about a candidate thats running. Our country is like your own life. You get out of it what you put into it. I wish some would try harder. Myself I'm getting nervous. Newt is appealing to Me.

Newt's shifted into Social(ist) Conservatism, a place I cannot follow him. Another name coming up is Mitt. |

dang was that a brilliant reply. I nominate Lon. The sad part is that the Republican party machine will now destroy him, if just for practice. |

If it comes down to Hill vs Jeb, ritual suicide comes to mind as an option. :spin: I agree with Stoney I see nobody in either party that appeals to me at this time, a sad commentary for a great nation. |

You know it's bad when American Idol outvotes the president.

I think one of the sources of the low-caliber politicians we've had running the country is the primary election system. It has turned politics into a popularity contest and taken away from the parties the ability for them to select the best man/woman to run for president. When was the last national convention when the nominee was not known before the delegates gathered? We need to go back to the smoke-filled rooms and let the party select who the nominee will be and not the primary system we have today. |

Agree on that one, Eric. Even as an individualist, there is such a thing as overdemocratization of the election process. |

May I remind you that your president has an MBA, and went to Yale, and had better grades there, than the "smart" John Kerry? He is not stupid as dirt. As a matter of fact, he's pretty smart, smarter than most people in the world. It is this kind of thinking that is causing the division in America today. It is oviously untrue, yet people continue to believe it and pass it on. Just like the stupid "No blood for oil" chants.
